About The Treatment
Coronary Artery Angiography (CAG) is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. Here’s a concise overview:
Purpose:
- CAG identifies blockages and abnormalities in the coronary arteries to guide treatment decisions for conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD).
Procedure:
- A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually through the wrist or groin.
- Contrast dye is injected through the catheter, making the coronary arteries visible on X-ray images.
- The images help detect narrowings or blockages in the arteries.
Benefits:
- Provides precise information about coronary artery health.
- Enables targeted treatment planning, potentially including immediate interventions like angioplasty.
Recovery:
- Patients typically go home the same day and need a short period for monitoring.
- Follow-up appointments are essential to discuss findings and treatment options.
Conclusion:
- CAG is a crucial tool for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, providing detailed insights that are vital for effective treatment planning.
